  19. sean says:

    Dear Santa, I do not ask for anything for myself this year… It has been an OK one for me, and i have only a single request of you this season. My best friend Regina, well… she misses her daughter terribly and while you and I know the circumstances ill not go into it here. However if you could see it fit to help me bring them closer I would gladly give up all of my gifts for the rest of my years.
    To see their eyes bright and shining would be the greatest gift ever, and nothing you could ever bring me would top that. Please help them find one another.
    Thank you,
    Sean K.

  31. The Kyles says:

    Dear Santa,

    We wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of the hope and joy that you bring to so many people this time of year. Your spirit inspires so many people to try harder, be a little kinder, and to think about what is really important to them.

    We are concerned Santa that during this time of year people forget the real reason for the season; that they lay their belief in you instead of belieiving in the One who is the true bringer of all gifts, not just the ones we receive at Christmas.

    Our Christmas wish this year Santa, is that this Christmas those who do not know or have forgotten the love, mercy, and grace of Jesus will be awakened with His light on this joyous morning.

    We thank you Santa and we know that it is not only the elves who help you make Christmas wishes come true. Thank you for your servce to us all, we know your safrice is great and we hope that you feel our love even when we are not on the ‘Nice’ list!

    May the Christmas cookies left for you be yummy, the weather be clear, and the gaurd dogs kind. Kiss misses Claus for us and give the reindeer a scratch behind the ears.

    All our love,
    Trey & Kristina

  32. Michaela says:

  39. Nichole G. says:

    Dear Santa,
    I am 26 years old and I still believe in you. The only thing I would like is a wonderful Christmas morning with the kids opening gifts and that sparkle in there eyes. That would be the best. I haven’t had that kind of Christmas in a while. I miss my kids and as you know this is my first Christmas without them here. It is so hard. All I want is a good Merry Christmas. God Bless you and yours. Say Hello to the Mrs. for me. Love you forever!

    True Believer,
    Nichole
